Chapter 1066： Professional high-altitude interceptor

The Yak-1 is a long-range fighter with a maximum range of 850 kilometers. With the auxiliary fuel tank attached, the range can exceed 1,000 kilometers. In this way, the Soviet Air Force can **** to Moscow as long as it takes off from the border.

This is also the reason why they chose Yak-1. This is the most representative aircraft that the Soviet Air Force has singled out from its own active aircraft. With excellent flight performance and sufficient maximum speed, this is definitely the best **** aircraft.

However, they didn't expect that they would still be shaved by the Germans.

The Germans fly too high!

Yak-1 does not pay special attention to high-altitude performance, and the highest altitude will not exceed 10,000 meters. This does not seem to be a big problem, because in the repeated combat missions of Germany, it can be found that the German Air Force hardly exceeds 10,000 meters. Flew at an altitude of meters.

At the same time, Germany’s proudest Atlantic airliner was not found to have flown over 10,000 meters.

Now people are flying at an altitude of more than 11 thousand meters!

This **** was carried out by General Alexander Alexandrovich Novikov, the most outstanding in the Soviet Air Force. Hearing the words on the radio, he was taken aback for a moment and then reacted.

"Fly under the opponent until our new **** fleet arrives." He gave an order to the 11th Fighter Regiment, then turned to the side and said: "Immediately mobilize the MiG-1 fighter unit and let them fly over Belarus. , To welcome the visit of the German fleet and **** them!"

The pursuit of altitude will never end. The reason is too simple. As long as one can fly to this altitude, but the other party cannot fly, then one can fly freely, especially for bombers. important.

Then, at the same time, there must be fighters that can fly to this altitude to intercept the opponent's bombers and ensure superiority.

The high-altitude interceptor project was launched a few years ago. The design index of this aircraft is a maximum flight speed of 670 km/h at an altitude of 7000 meters, a ceiling of 13000 meters, and an AM-35A water-cooled engine with a power of 1200. horsepower.

It's a pity that the emphasis on this project is not enough. After all, the most important thing now is to create advanced fighters that can compete with German fighters, not to build such high-altitude interceptors.

As a result, it was not until this year that this aircraft was stumbling and completing its test flight, and so far it has only equipped about 20 troops.

Fortunately, we finally have it. If we don't have this aircraft, we will have to embarrass to Moscow!

Following Novikov's orders, the MiG-1 fighter unit guards the 16th Fighter Aviation Regiment and quickly entered the mission state.

Captain Alexander Ivanovich Pokreshkin ran quickly to his plane, a brand new MiG-1 fighter.

Although his flying experience is not long, he graduated last year, but the aviation school he studied was the Soviet’s most famous Kachin No. 1 pilot school named after А.Ф. Miasnikov After he came out, he became one of the first pilots to fly MiG-1 fighters because of his superb flying skills.

From the outside, the MiG-1 is not beautiful. The front half of this aircraft is occupied by long engines. The pilot’s cockpit is located behind the middle.

In this way, when taking off, the pilot can't see anything in front of him, and his vision is quite poor. In short, this is definitely not a good fighter.

The engine was started smoothly, and Captain Pokreshkin gently pushed the throttle lever and released the brake. The MiG-1 rolled forward on the runway.

This aircraft is definitely not a good aircraft. In order for it to fly higher, the wing area needs to be reduced. In this way, the MiG-1’s wing unit load is very high, which leads to another problem. The performance is quite poor.

Because the wing load is small, the climb is poor. In order to make the climb performance of the aircraft meet the standard, the aircraft designers simply and rudely reduced the aircraft's fuel load to achieve this, which led to its poor range.

Because the front engine occupies too much space, there is not much space to accommodate the fuel tank. In addition, the wing is brought forward, and the center of gravity of the aircraft is shifted back, which makes the aircraft roll quite difficult.

It can be said that this aircraft can be used to intercept high-altitude fighters. If you use this aircraft to fight against enemy fighters, you will die miserably.

However, Pokreshkin used this fighter and its modified MiG-3 to create miracles one after another. It can be seen that the ultimate factor determining the outcome of the battle is still human!

And now, Pokreshkin’s first contact with the Luftwaffe came suddenly.

Behind him, the other three fighter jets also took off one after another. They did not mobilize more planes to throw in immediately, but to perform tasks in batches.

The reason is simple. With their single wave of aircraft, they simply cannot complete the entire **** mission for the other party. Their voyage is limited and they need three waves of relay escort although it sounds a bit embarrassing. , At least they can also achieve the mission of escort, not like their own brother troops who are now in the air, it is really embarrassing!

The German fleet is flying at an altitude of 12,000 meters. Below them, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, there is the Soviet Yak-1 fleet. This scene is nondescript.

"I really want to go down and say hello to the Soviets." A young pilot's voice came from the radio: "Ask them, is this escorting us?"

"035, pay attention to discipline. We are performing the task of escorting the head of state's special plane. If we violate discipline again, we will be directly expelled from the air force!" Heinz shouted over the radio.

The German army is invincible, relying on strict discipline. It can be said that the rigor of the Germans is as world-famous as the romance of the French and the nobility of the British.

Heinz was also very happy at this time. If possible, he would of course go down and say hello, but it is absolutely not possible now. Their task is to protect their own special plane. There should be no mistakes in this task!

He looked down from the side of his fuselage. The Soviet fleet must be embarrassing at this time, right?

But soon, his naked eyes caught a few bright spots in the sky, and those bright spots were flying in while continuing to raise the height!

"Attention, protect the special plane, 035, 036, and go to intercept." Heinz shouted loudly on the radio: "Identify clearly, don't open fire easily!"

Intuitively, Heinz believed that it must be a new fighter **** by the Soviets, but they did not notify them in advance, so he must follow the preset plan to start interception! ()
